ELLIOTT MCS 920 DIGITAL COMPUTER TRIAL

Abstract

Results are given of flight trials to demonstrate the navigational capability of the MCS 920 computer, and of an investigation into the programming and compatibility problems involved in using the computer for flight testing navigation and radio equipment. It is concluded that the computer can perform navigational tasks rapidly, reliably and accurately; it is reasonably easy to program and is compatible with existing A. + A.E.E. services. The MCS 920 would be a valuable addition to the flight trials resources of A. + A.E.E.
